News & Notes
Whew! I've been taking advantage of a tiny lull in the busy seasons, tax season and needlework market, to work in the garden this weekend. There is absolutely nothing like digging in some frozen dirt to remind you that you could stand to be a bit stronger. So I'm getting started on rebuilding some muscles for gardening season.

Rye also decided to "help" by finding some seeds I carefully planted in the rock garden this winter and digging those up for me. Sigh. Fortunately they were easy to replant.
But speaking of busy season, I have six(!!) new releases coming out at the needlework marketplace next month. Your local or online shop will be picking these up and bringing them home for you to enjoy, so contact them to reserve your copy.

Six New Releases Are Coming
You can't buy them from the website yet, but full details are available there. I also have some videos on the way showing how the variegated flosses were used for stitching the models.
Christmas Carousel Stand Instructions
And if you got a copy of the wonderful stand for the Christmas Carousel project, the assembly instructions are available on the website as well. Just click the link below:
I'll be out and about more than usual in 2026, starting with Sampler Guild of the Rockies next weekend. I'm really looking forward to meeting with the stitchers there and sharing the "right royal and regal" project I developed for them.
After that I'll be at Barefoot Needle Art in April, at Acorns & Threads in September and at the Silver Needle in October! And I'll be attending some online events as well this year so I'm hoping to connect with you in person or virtually very soon.
And if traveling doesn't work for you, please join me on Flosstube for some chatting. If nothing else, there's a chance to see Rye in her natural habitat, sleeping on the couch.

Happy Stitching!
